Taking Whats His

Chapter Fourteen.

Chapter Fourteen.

I couldn't feel my body. I felt weightless as I sank to the floor successfully landing onto my knees and holding myself upright in a seating position as I sat back. I could see Logan crouching down in front of me, his expression showing nothing but worry as his lips moved quickly. I knew he was speaking to me but I couldn't hear anything apart from a faint ringing sound, my eyes were no longer focusing.

I felt myself become numb as I processed the letter and the meaning behind it. It was clear that my dad had found us and he knew where we were and who we were with. He no doubt knew who Logan was and what I was to him judging by the threat and why he had addressed the letter to Logan.

My mum and I were no longer safe; we would never be safe and we were both stupid to think that we would ever be able to escape him. When we had been living with my dad he had made it clear that if we ever tried to escape that bad things would happen to the both of us. He had promised us that if by some miracle we did escape him that he would find us and he would have us begging for mercy. At the time I had never taken his threats seriously as I had never expected to escape from him, but now that we had escaped I knew his threats were real as he had done what he had promised, he had found us and now all he had to do was get us.

There was no point in running away again as much as the idea appealed to me. I knew that he would find us as he was watching our every move. The pack offered us some sort of protection even if my dad was not someone who should be taken lightly as he was a threat, he was violent, he showed no mercy, he was cruel and he was evil. My dad didn't have a heart and he probably never had, making him lethal.

If we stayed with Logan and the rest of his pack then we would be putting everyone in danger. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that someone had gotten hurt or worse, killed by my dad and his pack because of me and my mum. I couldn't have people risking their lives to save me. It didn't seem right as we weren't members of the pack.

The realisation that my dad had finally found us after such a short time of freedom shook me to the very core. I was terrified of my dad and knowing that he had found us and that he was no doubt furious that we had left him seemed all too real. It was real and that was the worst part about it.

My dad was probably coming up with a plan in which he could get my mum and I back to him without even being noticed. He was probably thinking of a suitable punishment for the both of us that would no doubt have us begging for him to end our lives. I shivered despite my frozen state at the thought of the beatings I would no doubt get when he had gotten us back.

"Esme!" Logan's worried voice called me from far away.

I tore my eyes away from where they had been glued to the carpet to look at Logan. His hair was all over the place as if he had been running his fingers through it in both frustration and anger. The chocolate brown colour of his eyes had darkened to where I was staring into his almost black eyes. His lips were pulled into a tight line and he frowned in worry.

Although Logan was attractive whatever face he pulled I realised that I didn't like the look of worry on his expression now. I knew that it was the mate bond within me but I wanted to reach out and smooth the frown lines on his forehead that didn't suit him well. I wanted to see him smile and deep down I wanted him to comfort me and tell that everything was going to be alright even if it wasn't.

The knowledge that my dad had finally found me seemed to rush over my like a bucket of ice cold water as I gasped quickly. My hands clasped together to make a fist as I placed it over my thundering heart that beat faster with fear. I was frozen where I sat as my eyes seemed to finally focus on Logan completely.
